Clean water.

12x6

water color, colored pencil, graphite.

The main idea that guided my artwork is that I wanted to show the struggles of people that dont have clean water. I wanted to show how much more color and light is brought into a families life when they are able to have clean and drinkable water.

This work was made by, first, I took pencil and sketched out my ideas( I had alot). Once I decided on one I then started drawing in color with the colored pencil. I wanted to show difference in color in this drawing so this took alot of thought. After this I painted the sky(s) with watercolor.

The process that I went though from my idea to my finished piece is that first I thought that I was defiantly going to be drawing and showing pollution of the oceans and sea animals. Then I thought of this idea and thought I would try it. My first idea was a very zoomed out picture of people gathering water. Then I thought of having there be a simple portrait. After A few idea I diced on one and I liked making it and I like how it turned out.
